I don't know why I'm calling
I don't know if I should
I know you're not a doctor

But you could do me some good

Operator please

I need your sympathy
So talk to me


The ship I'm on is sinking
And I never learned to swim
I need someone to save me

Throw me a line
And pull me in


Operator please
Won't you rescue me
I need your company


[Chorus:]
So tell me, tell me

You will be the one who hears my lonely voice tonight
If someone calls me all they'll get is a busy line
'Till we say bye tell me that you will be mine mine mine

I'll make believe that you like me too
I'm hung up on you


Here is my confession
Not acting like I should
I think I've learned my lesson

And I feel misunderstood

Operator please

I need you to comfort me
I'm down on my knees


I used to be so shady
I did some dirty deeds
I wasn't always faithful

I said, ?A man has got his needs.?

Operator please

Don't leave me in the cold and put my soul on hold

[Repeat Chorus]


When this call is over
I'll be running through your mind

You might think I'm crazy
But you'll want me to ring another time
And I know, and you know

You'll call me down the line
Hung up on you, don't know what to do
I'm hung up on you


[Repeat Chorus]
